President Trump on September 4 criticized the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling as "ridiculous" and unconstitutional, arguing that the state must be allowed to use the map that was in effect just months ago for the primary. Trump stated that the ruling, which orders a redrawing of maps to their previous version, is problematic because there is insufficient time before the upcoming election to make such changes, according to legal scholars. He described the decision as a "Dark Day for 'Justice' in Missouri" and claimed the election process is being disturbed.
"The Missouri Supreme Court just ridiculously ruled in favor of changing the maps back to what they were a long time ago. It’s called, Ancient History! The problem is, according to Legal Scholars, that not only was the ruling horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional, but there won’t be enough time to change the map back with the Election coming up in a very short period of time. The Election Process, as usual, is being disturbed in America! Missouri must be able to use the map that was in effect just a couple of months ago, in the Primary. This is a Dark Day for 'Justice' in Missouri!"
